IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE or SOAP,

"lj'he Schedulehrefened to these Lettersfatent and making part of thesame.

county, and State of NewYork, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in the Manufacture of Soap, which I have designated as the"Patent Venetiau Soap and I- do hereby declare thatthe following is afull descriptionofthef same. I V 1 The nature of my inventionconsists'in making soap [from the residuum obtained from thedistillation of the oil known to the trade as the J'PatentRefinedResine,(as I have designated the rosin-oil manufactured under my patent, N 0.100,953, and dated March 15, 1870,)

or white rosin-oil, &c., in, combination with fats and oils, alkalics,acids, alcohol and Venice turpentine, substantiallyas herehraftermorepart-icularly specified.

I first take-one hundred pounds of the residuum of the distjllation'ofthe Patent Refined Resine, and add to it from eight ounces to tenounces, or thereabouts, of, alcohol, according to the densit-yof or'impurities coutainedin theresidunm, which has been previously"dissolved by the application of steam or heat otherwise applied to it.y t i To the mixture of alcohol and residuum I next add from'half apound toonepoundpf muriatic acid, and also about the same weight asVenice. turpentine.

, It will beobviou's thatthese quantities will be varied, according tothe varying densities of the residu um and quality of soa'pito be made.1 c

When thus prepared,the mixture'is combined with about fifty pounds eachof tallowfor fats, and cottonseed (or othervegetable)oils, and fromtwenty ,to thirty per cent, by weight, of soda,. or other alkalies, or-

dinarily used in the process otmaking soap, for the purpose ofsaponifying'the whole of the indredients, which y is eflected in theusual way of making soaps.

By my new mam1facture, it will be obvious that, by

utilizing the residuum, I not only make a new inanufacture, but alsoincrease the quantity of soap, and thereby greatly cheapen it,'by savingthe cost for the tallow 0r oilsused, which would necessarily have'to beused to make the weight of soap, while, at the same time, my improvedsoap' is equally good as the best soaps in the market. I

'11: will be obvious that the Patent Refined Resiuef may be used as asubstitute for theresiduum, or mixed with the residuum, under somecircumstances, but do not consider it either-as good or as economical aswould be the use of the residuum, which, to a certain eXtent,fis-a wasteproduct-of the distillation, though, as constituting a part of my'newmanufacture, I do not wish to be deprived of the right tov the use -ofthe Patent Refined Resiue, in connection with the residuum, ascircumstances may suggest in making the different qualities of soapcontemplated by my new manufacture.
